So I've got three games left before I've cleared 52 games in (slightly less than) a year, and one of those - the final one - is explicitly planned, once I'm done with the others. What does that mean? It means I should start putting my thoughts into a words and awards. Because I am a cheap hack who can only imitate better writers.

The final three games may qualify for these awards too (though I haven't played any of them yet and won't spoil what the last one is) so any entries you see here might be tentative or sniped away from a Surprising Good Game. Or maybe not.

ANYWAY.

52 IN 52: A YEAR IN AWARD

I could go by genres, but if I did that, some categories would be undernourished, while others would be stuffed to the gills. I could steal the categories [personal profile] xyzzysqrl and [personal profile] kjorteo used, but then I'd be even more derivative and fake.

So instead, I'll make my own categories, with slightly different takes on things. Also, for the sake of brevity and visual balance, I'm going to be limiting to 3 actual nominees per award - that does make it slightly easier to guess, but then again, nobody actually reads these. Strap in, this'll be a bumpy ride.


here comes a bumpy ride ebrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr )


There you have it, a run-down of what I think of what I've played this year. As I said, there may be a stealth add or two depending on what I play (though I doubt it), and the proper ceremonying will happen after I'm done with my 52rd game. Hope to see all two of you there. :V
